Most likely a missing man flypast, I'd have thought.

[reaper493]

Yea, that was my first thoughts.

Yanks love a good missing man.

Numbers suggest 4x F15, 4x Typhoon, 2x Osprey and a Tanker or C130?

Some information from a local newspaper on likely advantage points to watch

https://sheffieldnewsroom.co.uk/news/mi_amigo_flypast/

Also i think it would fitting if the flypast(or part of it) could use AMIGO as call sign ?

[Gus0898uk]

BBC Breakfast mentioned it again today, I think the Take Off Time may be 0845hrs from LN with a Time On Tony in Sheffield of 0855, this was from the TV and not official.
I shall be glued to my TV from 0830 for sure.

494FS Strike Eagle 00-3002 also has nose art in memory of the fallen crew , from a photo I took today of the port / left hand side.

[reaper493]

Fingers crossed its part of the formation, although unsure we'll be able to see it, would expect them to be a bit on the high side.
